(詳細はfolk song most famously performed by The Dubliners. The song (Child 274, Roud 114) is often referred to as "Our Goodman". It tells the story of a gullible drunkard returning night after night to see new evidence of his wife's lover, only to be taken in by increasingly implausible explanations. According to Roud and Bishop〔Roud, Steve & Julia Bishop (2012). ''The New Penguin Book of Folk Songs''. Penguin. ISBN 978-0-141-19461-5.〕 "''This was an immensely widespread song, probably known all over the English-speaking world, with the wording varying considerably but the structure and basic story remaining the same''."〔Roud & Bishop p. 450〕 In ''British Popular Ballads'' John E. Housman observes that "There is much of Chaucer's indomitable gaiety in this ballad. The questions of the jealous husband and the evasions of his wife are treated here in a humorous vein, and there are French ballads of a similar type." ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven Drunken Nights」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
